Chair's Welcome

EECS Chair

Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Florida Atlantic University. The department offers Bachelor of Science (BS), Master of Science (MS), and Ph.D. degree programs in Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), and Electrical Engineering (EE). We also offer MS degree programs in Biomedical Engineering (BME), and Information Technology and Management (ITM). The department has launched four new degree programs: Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science, BS and MS in Data Science and Analytics (DSA), and MS in Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition, the department offers graduate certificate programs in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Cyber Security, Energy Resilience, and Biomedical Engineering as well as undergraduate certificate programs in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Data Science. All degree programs in the department are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and our BS programs in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
